PCLaw™ Billing and Accounting Software

Differences PCLaw and PCLawPro


Once your firm exceeds 9 timekeepers, you will need to upgrade to PCLawPro. This product is designed for larger firms and includes options that smaller firms typically don’t need. We are pleased to reward our clients that grow with us by applying the price of PCLaw towards your order of PCLawPro.

  • PCLaw is for law firms with up to 9 Timekeepers/Users.
  • PCLawPro is for law firms with 10 or more Timekeepers/Users.

The following features are available only in PCLawPro:

Check Requesting

  • Is available for both general and trust bank accounts
  • Allows the decentralization of check writing
  • Maintains control for the accounting department to release the check and have the final say
  • Does not appear on reports and general ledger until the check has been released

Bill Requesting

  • Helps eliminate billing bottlenecks by allowing law firm staff to request bills while providing your accounting department the authority to finalize the bill
  • Helps the accounting department maintain control over the posting of bills to the general ledger while not impeding the billing process
  • Looks at the client ledger and formulates the unbilled fees, expenses, receipts and trust in the template format specified and according to the criteria selected
  • Creates an invoice # for the requested bill
  • Has the same functionality as Create Bill, except the invoice is not yet entered on the Invoice Journal
  • Enables trust transfers to be requested during billing
  • The unbilled entries on the client ledger included on the Request Bill are marked with the invoice # REQ

Lawyer budgeting

  • Budget figures can be entered for a selected group of lawyers on a month-by-month basis or by lawyer over a specified period

Matter budgeting

  • Budget figures can be entered on a matter basis
  • This can appear on the prebill or bills, "actual vs. budget," "variance as a percent or dollar amount"
  • Custom report can be written

Major client grouping

  • A major client is used to associate a series of different clients together in the system
  • Bills, reports and payments can be made on behalf of this major client, and each one of the associated clients will appear
